How to be a zombie Con artist? First you need to know that there are some enormous Cons out there, and by that I mean Sci-fi and Fantasy Conventions. Some of them get pretty freaky, like Arisia, which returned to Boston for its 22nd year last weekend.

The panels and events were ever so enticing. Who wouldn’t want to watch a live radio play in which H.P. Lovecraft meets Dr. Who?

Boskone, a far more cerebral (zombies take note) look at other worlds and imaginings will take place in the same city, in the same place—Westin, Boston Waterfront—February 18-20. Way to go Boston.

This is one awesome reason for a ticket to fly. If you miss it, not to worry … plenty of Cons and zombie walks ahead in 2011 and you can find out more about them right here on “The Slice.”
